Rio for Children Jiu-Jitsu Curriculum™ and Kids Revolution MMA Curriculum ™ Founder "little" Tony Pacenski pictured on right with his instructor, Carlson Gracie Black Belt and World Champion, Rodrigo Medeiros.

Anthony, “little Tony," Pacenski Jr began his study of Martial Arts with Tae Kwon Do in 1993 at the age of 14. After watching Royce Gracie’s victories in the first Ultimate Fighting Championship, in early 1995, Tony changed his focus to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and started training with Steve Maxwell and Phil Migliarese at Maxercise Sports/Fitness in Philadelphia, Pa, which had an affiliation with Royce Gracie's Academy in Los Angeles, Ca and Relson Gracie's Academy in Hawaii. At that time, Maxercise was one of the only places to find Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the East Coast having Royce & Relson Gracie teaching seminars every 3 months.

After graduating High School, Tony’s Jiu-Jitsu journey took him to Torrance, California where he participated in the Gracie Academy Instructor Training Program for 2 years. While there, he assisted Rorion and "3-time Ultimate Fighting Champion" Royce Gracie in seminars and training sessions to diverse groups, ranging from the FBI, Navy Seals, Army Rangers, and Los Angeles Police Department (L.A.P.D.) to women and children. Tony was also able to learn directly from Master Helio Gracie semi-privately during this period, while he visited the academy.

Over these years, Tony successfully competed in major Jiu-Jitsu tournaments around the world. His favorite memories are twice fighting in the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships held in Brazil, winning the Hawaiian International and US. National Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships. Tony is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under, Carlson Gracie Black Belt and World Champion, Rodrigo Medeiros. At this time, Tony works as a public school teacher and is teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the Revolution Academy of Martial Arts & Fitness. He is the founder of several specialized self-defense programs and curriculums including the Rio for Children Jiu-Jitsu Curriculum™ and Kids Revolution MMA Curriculum ™.    Tony is also a certified Commando Krav Maga Level II instructor under founder Moni Aziki.
